The proposed Workmans
Irish Pub location in Astoria’s
Uniontown neighborhood has
been put up for sale by owner
Jim Wilkins.
Erica Miltenberger, who
owns Workmans Irish Pub
in Tillamook, had built out
Wilkins’ building for her sec-
ond location. But the Oregon
Liquor Control Commission
in September proposed deny-
ing Miltenberger a liquor
license .
Wilkins said he is hoping
a young, energetic owner can
take over the building. “I’m
getting on in age, and I really
don’t want to monkey with
it,” he said.
Aside from some short-
lived eateries, the build-
ing has been largely vacant
since 2007, when Wilkins
last operated the long-ten-
ured Cafe Uniontown. He
bought the building in 1992
from Rae Goforth, the build-
ing’s previous owner and
unoffi cial “Mayor of Union-

Jim Wilkins’ building in Uniontown, once Cafe Union-
town and more recently refurbished to be the second
location of Tillamook-based Workmans Irish Pub, is now
up for sale.
neighborhood with a relative
dearth of restaurants com-
pared to downtown, still has
potential as a restaurant.
“When I owned it, it was
a dinner house,” he said. “It
was successful. I think that’s
what it could be again.”
The building, at 218
W. Marine Drive, is listed
through Windermere/Pacifi c
Land Co. for $320,000.
Across Marine Drive from
Wilkins’ building, Uniontown
standby Mary Todd’s Work-
ers Bar & Grill is also up for
sale for $595,000, including
the building and business.
Wilkins said he sees the
neighborhood growing and
becoming more active with
investments by the city and
Port of Astoria . The city
has offered urban renewal
money to help building own-
ers improve facades. The Port
has a contract with a hotel
developer studying the feasi-
bility of a new Marriott near
the Maritime Memorial.
“I see the whole district
kind of blossoming over
the next fi ve to 10 years,”
Wilkins said.
